Since the last quarrel, the two have not met again. Hua Qingxue never expected to see Fu Tingye in such a situation...
When did he come? How much did he hear
Hua Qingxue felt a little guilty...
Then I thought again, those words were her true inner thoughts. If he was angry because of this, or didn't understand her, then sooner or later the engagement would be terminated...
So, there’s nothing to feel guilty about.
Whether he accepts it or not, her concerns will not be reduced at all.
With this thought, Hua Qingxue calmed down, met Fu Tingye's gaze, and called out: "General."
Luo Muyu was frightened and looked at her husband for help. Lu Zhengqing shook his head inaudibly and signaled her not to panic with his eyes.
Although Fu Tingye was overbearing, he did not get angry. He calmed down his emotions, looked at Hua Qingxue and said, "It's getting late. I'll take you back."
The tone didn't sound unusual.
Hua Qingxue nodded and smiled at Mr. and Mrs. Lu: "Thank you for the hospitality today. Let's meet again next time."
Lu Zhengqing glanced at Fu Tingye and replied calmly: "Okay, let's meet up another day."
Fu Tingye turned around and walked out. Hua Qingxue stood there and hesitated for a while, then also walked out.
Lu Zhengqing knew that he couldn't get into trouble at this time, so he held his wife's hand and stayed in the house instead of going out to see off the guests.
Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue walked on the bluestone brick road of the Lu family, one behind the other, and the atmosphere was strange.
After leaving the courtyard door, Fu Tingye stopped beside the carriage, turned around and looked at Hua Qingxue.
Hua Qingxue thought he would say something, but no, Fu Tingye stretched out a hand as usual, held her firmly, and helped her sit into the carriage.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Fu Tingye sat beside Hua Qingxue, holding her hand firmly with his big palm.
She tried to pull away, but he held her tightly and couldn't get away.
Fu Tingye asked her in a deep voice: "Do you feel wronged by marrying me?"
He was really angry...
"General, it's not that I feel wronged by marrying you." Hua Qingxue replied in a low voice, "It's the matter of getting married... I haven't thought about it yet."
Fu Tingye snorted coldly, "Why didn't you think about it before I saw you? It's just because the emperor..."
Mentioning Li Jingnan, Fu Tingye gritted his teeth, "Because of him, do you think I can't be trusted? Do you think I'm not worthy of your marriage?! Do you even want to go back to your hometown?! - I'm no longer worthy of your reliance? Hua Qing Snow! What are you thinking?!"
Hua Qingxue turned her face away and whispered: "It has nothing to do with him, it's just that he made me understand something."
Fu Tingye asked: "What's the matter?"
Hua Qingxue bit her lip and finally said it out: "I just think... I can live a good life alone, why should I get married? General, I am not from Daqi, and I don't like to gamble my future life." When it comes to a man, I will not put my husband first, nor will I please a man. Now that you like me, you will yell at me. If you don’t like me in the future, what will happen to me? You are a general. I am just a commoner woman, there is a distinction between high and low, and the risk of marrying you is much greater than marrying an ordinary person."
Fu Tingye was simply dumbfounded, "When did I ask you to please me? When did I shout at you?"
He said, realizing that his voice might indeed have been louder during the last argument.
Fu Tingye sneered coldly: "After all, it's because of him! I just said that you were too indulgent to him! You are good, you even want to regret the marriage!"
Fu Tingye was extremely upset. He was still wondering what to do if her husband failed to get married after they got married. It would be better for her to just stop getting married!
-Sesame is so capable of doing big things! Women are really pretentious! If I had known that I should have done something with her when we shared the same bed in Renqiucheng. What would have happened like this before? !
From Fu Tingye's tone, Hua Qingxue seemed to be saying that she was being unreasonable.
See, this is a difference of opinion.
In Fu Tingye's eyes, getting married is as simple as eating and sleeping, but for her, it is the most important choice in life. She is worrying about gains and losses and looking forward and backward because the wedding is approaching, which in his opinion is unreasonable.
"If the general insists that it has something to do with him, then let it have something to do with him. Anyway, to the general, my opinion is not worth mentioning." Hua Qingxue didn't want to explain anymore, it didn't make sense to him.
"When did I feel that your opinion is not worth mentioning?" Fu Tingye was very angry. Why did he feel that this woman became more and more disobedient after coming to Shengjing? How well-behaved you were back in Panshui City! Getting too close to the little emperor will lead to bad things!
"Isn't it? The general knows that I have a deep relationship with the emperor, and he knows that I hope that the general will fully assist the emperor, so why do you target him again and again?!" Hua Qingxue suddenly raised her head and looked directly into Fu Tingye's eyes, "As a courtier, but to the emperor, Is it really okay to just watch the situation indifferently?"
"He even gave his life to me! I have helped him sit on the throne, how can I help him sit firmly?" Fu Tingye was furious, "If he can't sit firmly! Someone will naturally sit in that position for him! "
"Yeah..." Hua Qingxue's eyes turned red as she murmured, "For example, Prince Ning... For example, you can sit in that position, so why bother giving him a child..."
She has always regarded Li Jingnan as a child. Children need companionship, care, careful care and guidance.
But he made Li Jingnan prematurely accept the bloody wash in the men's battlefield...
She was kind as a woman, and he was ruthless. In the final analysis, they were just differences between closeness and distance.
If the emperor was just the emperor, nothing would happen to Hua Qingxue, but the emperor was Li Jingnan, the Li Jingnan who accompanied her day and night in Renqiu...
The carriage stopped and had arrived at the other courtyard.
Hua Qingxue bit her lip and struggled a few times, took her hand out of Fu Tingye's, and got out of the car without saying a word.
Fu Tingye felt so suffocated that his chest was about to explode! He was so angry that he raised his hand and hammered the armrest of the seat hard. The wood broke and made a dull cracking sound.
What happened? ! He obviously wanted to make peace, so why did he start a quarrel with her again? !
She is a woman, she just needs to be coaxed! Why are you arguing with her? ! Okay now, noisy ran away again! I don’t know when I can coax him back!
The general is so bored!
…
The moon is on the branches, and the cold wind of autumn night is bleak.
The lights in the Lu family's courtyard were still on, and the candlelight swayed on the window lattice, projecting two faint figures.
In the room, Lu Zhengqing held a bowl of goat's milk and blew it carefully. When the temperature was no longer so hot, he handed it to Luo Muyu's hand.
"I've only heard that children drink milk, so why should a pregnant woman drink it..." She murmured softly, but she felt very sweet in her heart.
Lu Zhengqing said sincerely that these days there is no folic acid, no calcium tablets, and no various vitamin tablets. All he can do is try his best to help his wife supplement nutrition.
"Huh? I really don't feel bad..." Luo Muyu took a sip, his mouth was full of rich milky aroma, and the taste was surprising.
"The odor in goat's milk is the volatile smell emitted by capric acid and acetic acid. As long as you add a pinch of jasmine tea or almonds when boiling the milk, the odor will disappear after the milk is boiled." Lu Masakiyoshi explained.
Luo Muyu laughed, "My husband talks like this, like a Chinese girl."
Having said that, Luo Muyu also looked sad when he thought of today's events, "I don't know what happened to General Fu and Miss Hua... The general was outside the door at the time, and his face was so scary... "
"How much did the general hear?" Lu Zhengqing asked.
Luo Muyu had a complicated look on his face, "I must have heard everything that should be heard and what shouldn't be heard..."
She looked at her husband hesitantly and asked in confusion: "Why is Miss Hua unwilling to get married? General Fu is a great hero that everyone respects. He has a high position and a clean back house. How many people would dream of such a marriage?" I can’t even dream of it.”
Lu Zhengqing smiled, "You want to get married too?"
Luo Muyu blushed, "What are you talking about..."
Lu Zhengqing touched her head and coaxed: "Drink quickly, and don't worry about those two people."
Luo Muyu nodded and continued drinking with the bowl in hand.
At this time, there were several knocks on the door—
"Sir, madam, someone from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion sent a message saying that the general is ill and asked for a visit."
Luo Muyu was startled and looked at Lu Zhengqing uneasily, "Husband, could it be..." General Fu was angry with them because of Hua Qingxue's matter
After all, when Hua Qingxue said she didn't want to get married, Lu Zhengqing didn't persuade her. It was really unusual for her to say that the general was sick this late at night!
Luo Muyu put down the bowl and grabbed Lu Zhengqing's sleeves sadly, "Husband, don't go..."
"It'll be okay." Lu Zhengqing patted her hand and said loudly to the outside, "Ask the people in the Hou Mansion to wait a moment and say I'll be there soon."
He sat in the room for a while, then turned to give Luo Muyu a soothing smile, "Remember to rinse your mouth after drinking the goat's milk. If I don't come back, you don't have to wait for me and go to bed early."
"I want to wait for you..." Luo Muyu shook his head.
"It will be okay. Didn't you just say that General Fu is a great hero? Great heroes are open-minded people and will not deliberately embarrass me."
Lu Zhengqing comforted him again and again, but Luo Muyu still felt uneasy, but when people from the Hou Mansion came to invite him, it was hard to keep people waiting.
Lu Zhengqing no longer delayed, picked up the medicine box and hurried to Weiyuan Hou Mansion.
When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, the general's bodyguard led him the way.
The night was already very deep, and the Hou Mansion was silent except for the rustling of scattered footsteps as they walked.
The general's courtyard was brightly lit at this time. Fu Tingye was sitting in the main hall with his eyebrows furrowed. At first glance, he couldn't tell where he was sick or injured.
Could it be that we are really here to investigate
Lu Zhengqing felt a little unsure.
However, he still saluted the general as usual and asked, "I wonder what's wrong with the general?"
Fu Tingye raised his eyes to look at him, frowned and stretched out a hand, placing it casually on the table, "It's a little skin injury. Thank you, Dr. Lu, for a trip in the evening."
Lu Zhengqing came closer and took a closer look at his hand.
There are some... scratched red marks on the lower part of the palm
Lu Zhengqing: "..."
It's really a skin injury. You don't even need to apply medicine. Even if you don't do anything, it will heal tomorrow morning.
